Dear colleagues, I am very happy to share with you that Rob Blokzijl, one of the founders of the RIPE community and its chair for 25 years, is being inducted posthumously today into the Internet Hall of Fame. The Internet Hall of Fame recognises individuals who have played “an extraordinary role in the conceptualisation, building, and development of the global Internet”. You can see this year's inductees here: https://www.internethalloffame.org/inductees During the ceremony I was able to share some thoughts on Rob's work, his legacy, and the principles he developed with this community that he was so instrumental in creating.
